The former First Lady would have no desire to reinvest the White House, told her relatives to CNN on Sunday, September 5. To the point that she will refuse to attend any campaign meeting of her husband Donald Trump, if he comes to stand for the presidential election in 2024.
"She does not want to become first lady again," said someone close to Melania Trump. For her, it was just a chapter - and it's closed, it's over. ” Friends of the former First Lady have indeed confided to CNN on Sunday, September 5, that the latter had "no desire" to reinvest in the White House. To the point that she will refuse to attend the campaign meetings of her husband Donald Trump, if he comes to stand for the presidential election of 2024. “You will not see her at any rally or event linked to a political campaign, even if he declares "officially" that he is presenting himself again, "added another anonymous witness. In fact, the former First Lady shone by his absence during all the speeches made by her husband since January, at the end of his mandate.
"Stoicism" and "loyalty"
Melania Trump's state of mind is not surprising, one of her relatives said in the CNN article. Already in 2016, during the presidential campaign, his appearances were rare. Barron Trump's mother would have even so often refused to participate in political rallies that at the time, the candidate's teams would have simply "stopped inviting him".
"The fact is that Donald Trump's supporters have gotten into the habit of not seeing her at meetings," said a Republican party executive. She even imposed the idea that it was a good thing. " Donald Trump's voters would now put her "on a pedestal." "They are amazed by her style and the fact that she expresses no idea or opinion, which they perceive to be stoicism or loyalty," continued an anonymous source.
Succession
Other members of the Trump clan would, however, be ready to replace her at short notice in the event of a new candidacy. “Lara (the wife of Eric, the son of Donald Trump) or Kimberly Guilfoyle (the companion of Don, the eldest son of the Republican) will take over, said a close relative. They have the same need as Trump to embark on a new campaign; a need that Melania Trump does not feel. ”
Very discreet since leaving Washington in January, the former American first lady started her new life in Mar-a-Lago, Florida ... and disappeared from radar screens. Just was she seen in July, in New York, out of Trump Tower, next to her son Barron, who is now a head taller than her. In February, Melania Trump's teams announced the opening of her own office. But have not announced any new projects since. "The more she can cultivate discretion and remain out of sight, the better she is," said one of Melania Trump's relatives.
